What Engine??

Blaven11 · Mar 12th, 2012, 21:07

How do I tell which engine variant I have?

I own a 2011MY XC90 R-Design 6 speed 'Geartronic' auto.

Is it the D5?

My dealer told me at the time of testing and purchase that it has the 'new' 200bhp engine. I understand there was/is a 185bhp one. How do I tell?

I ask this because I am considering whether to go down the 'Polestar' route. On their site they ask you your transmission viz: auto or 6 speed manual, engine viz: 2.5t, D5 or and lastly model year. It then searches and gives you what power you have and what you can expect when 'Polestarred'

It only shows the 185bhp not the 200bhp.

Anyone any ideas or answers please

Cancel that, just looked at my V5 and it tells me it's a D5 with 147 kw of power, which, according to Google equates to 197.13025bhp to be exact.a

As I understand it the "new" 200 bhp engine is the 185 bhp engine with the Polstar remap already installed. Hence it's not offered for the 200 bhp engine as it already has it.
